Managing Director / Owner

Started this permanent placement recruiting company in NJ, as a Management Recruiters International (MRI) Franchise, hiring 4 additional recruiters focused on Desks ranging from Technology to Healthcare.

 In specific retained searches: consolidated and streamlined HR/Recruiting processes achieving high end-user service levels with less effort. Developed programs, headcount targets and established processes that exceeded staffing requirements resulting in $150+ thousand dollars in recruiting cost reduction and faster hires of talent.

 Worked directly with Venture Capital firms to help staff early-stage companies with the intent of either going public or selling the company (in many cases, based on the candidates and sometimes resumes that I produced).

 Hired, trained and managed recruiting team that grew the company by more than 400% in a 48 month period. Opened up and staffed a Healthcare desk from scratch which produced $150 thousand in 12 months.

 As a manager and team member I participated in the recruiting of key executives and general staff including CEO’s, VP’s, Directors, Marketing, Sales, and Engineering.
